Sara

I am Sara. I am a certified Preschool-8th grade art teacher by day and a bartending paint slanging Twister by night. I studied Art at SIU Edwardsville and in exploring myself artistically I took a fondness for drawing and metal smithing. When I'm not teaching or 'twisting' I enjoy being a mom, working on my fitness, traveling, attending live music, eating spicy food, and making punny cards.
